Why does a building that imitates the Roman Colosseum remind you of the Tower of Babel? I found this blog that includes these statues, plus the fact that the main EU building, designed to imitate the Roman Colisseum, reminds Christians of the Tower of Babel -- quite pointedly if you look at the poster this blogger found.Does it look like it? Could you post a link to a painting/drawing of what the Tower of Babel actually looked like, so that I can compare?

Well, the poster was a drawing of Bruegel's painting - so I am not surprised it looks like Bruegel's painting. I did post the link to that blog that has pictures of the building, Breughel's painting of the Tower of Babel and an EU poster that refers to the Tower of Babel. Maybe the link doesn't show up clearly enough in my post? But Bruegel's painting was made many thousands of years after Babel was destroyed, yes?So what was the painting based on? Well, Bruegel based it on the Roman Colosseum. And what was the EU building based on? Answer: the Roman Colosseum. In summary: Bruegel's painting - which was based on the Roman Colosseum - reminds you of the EU Parliament building - which was based on the Roman Colosseum. So - back to my unanswered questions:Why does a building that imitates the Roman Colosseum remind you of the Tower of Babel? Does it look like it?

I am not nick-picking. OK it reminds us of a famous painting of the Tower of Babel. The imagery is striking, and the EU poster confirms that they too find it striking and representative of their goals. Sure you can nitpick it to death for whatever thrill that gives you.I am simply pointing out that a building based on the Colosseum cannot remind you of the Towel of Babel directly - because you have no idea what the tower looked like. It can only remind you of the fantasy painting by Bruegel. Faith writes:
A building that reminds you of a painting is not evidence of "the EU's involvement in the End Days". caffeine writes:

Any chance you could fill us in on any of these signs of the EU's involvement in the End Days? "There is no great invention, from fire to flying, which has not been hailed as an insult to some god." J. B. S. Haldane

Yes: read the words on the poster: "Many tongues: one voice". If Breughel found the Colosseum a likely model for the Tower of Babel, and the EU found both the Colosseum and that painting representative of their own goals, Do you not think that aim is to be lauded? Faith writes:
Then explain the connection. the connection does seem rather obvious to some of us of a more perspicacious mentality.How does an advertising poster (showing a picture of a fantasy painting based on the Roman Colesseum) show the EU's involvement in the End Days?

Is that it. The poster suggests that the EU aims to recover the original Tower of BabelThat's not even worth the paper it isn't written on. "The poster suggests".So - your evidence against the EU is that a poster was once made linking the motto: "Europe: Many Tongues, One Voice" to the Towel of Babel. ....to which you then added: "the EU aims to recover the original Tower of Babel".

Armenia is divided into 10 provinces. Found the picture of the Armenian coin commemorating their joining the Council of Europe in 2001. Seems logical to me that the ten strokes that fan off the logo probably represent the first ten member states but if you happen to know that they don't, let me know. Please note:1) It was an Armenian coin issued in Armenia by Armenians to commemorate Armenia joining the Council of Europe. 2) The Council of Europe is NOT the European Union. 3) Armenia is NOT a member of the European Union. So - what is more likely:a) The 10 fans represent the first 10 members of the EU. b) The 10 fans represent the 10 Armenian provinces. Edited by Panda, : No reason given.

And I would again point out that The Council of Europe is not the European Union. I'd still note that for some reason the article on the Council of Europe seems to make a big deal out of the fact that there were ten original members. Anything the CoE "makes a big deal out of" is not going to support any claims about the EU. (Not that I have seen any evidence of them making a big deal out of the fact that there were 10 original members. I would be surprised if they did - especially since it had 10 members for only 3 months. After that there were 12.) Edited by Panda, : No reason given. Edited by Panda, : No reason given.

Faith writes: I did read it. READ THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE ON THE Council of Europe. That's ALL I've been referring to.The Wiki page doesn't "make a big deal" about there being 10 original members. It mentions it once: quote:It makes three times as many references to there being 47 member states. And anyway, Wiki is NOT the Council of Europe. "I'd still note that for some reason the article on the Council of Europe seems to make a big deal out of the fact that there were ten original members."That seems to be based on your own imagination and nothing else. Faith writes: You were asked: "Any chance you could fill us in on any of these signs of the EU's involvement in the End Days?" And a lot of the symbolism related to the C of E rather than the EU, as I've said already.So far - nothing. *shrug* Faith writes: Most major organisations (both political and religious) also work "in concert" with the EU. And they DO work in concert as I also posted a link on.America does. Protestant churches do. Charities do. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. Faith writes: I find it weird that you would rather maintain your false beliefs than be corrected. Good grief if you split hairs finely enough you could prove anything you want to prove. Try taking it all in the spirit intended. Edited by Panda, : No reason given."There is no great invention, from fire to flying, which has not been hailed as an insult to some god." J. B. S. Haldane

I have not just posted opinions - I have posted facts. What you call "correcting" me is really just preferring your own opinion to mine. You on the other hand.... Faith writes:
But you are unable to quote them doing so. I still read that article on the Council of Europe as making more of the original ten nations as something definitive than you do.That is how I know that you are just making it up. No doubt you will come back with another cry of "I must be thinking of something else!". Faith writes:
...but that doesn't stop you making spurious claims about them, does it.
I've said I'm not clear on the differences between the Council of Europe and the European Union Faith writes:
Only if you ignore the fact that there isn't. There seems to be plenty of such symbolism to go around. If you do a 'Faith' and make up things like "The 10 fans on a coin represent the 10 EU founding members!" or "The statue looks like a woman with a cup riding a 10 headed beast!"", then sure - there are many such imaginary symbolisms. But if you instead prefer things that aren't patently false, you are left with considerably fewer. Faith writes:
So - your evidence that the EU is involved in the End Of Days is that it shares a flag with the Council of Europe. The same flag flies over both apparently. LOL !! Edited by Panda, : No reason given.

The 8th item is always "not of the 7". "7 and an 8th not of the 7""7 and an 8th not of the 7" is basically just called "8". If you are looking at multiples of 8 as being symbolic of the End of Days, then you must be permanently afraid.

Or we can look at what you actually said:
and you are also misrepresenting what I said about the statue of Europa, since all I said and all anybody I've quoted has said is that it's an image of "a woman riding a beast," nothing else. Faith writes: Christians immediately recognize this image as "the woman who rides the beast" in the Book of Revelation Faith writes:

I can't read your mind so I'll go by what you wrote:
How simple it would be to merely concede that I meant what I meant and not what you think I should have meant, but I guess that's just too hard for you.quote: Faith writes: ...all I said and all anybody I've quoted has said is that it's an image of "a woman riding a beast," nothing else. What you wrote was a lie.That makes you a liar. If it was just a case of it being "mis-wrote" then you would have simply corrected it.Instead you blamed me: "But of course it MUST be what YOU think it is, not what WE think it is." That is not you admitting a mistake - that is you trying to hide the fact that you got caught lying. If your god likes liars then he must fucking love you!"There is no great invention, from fire to flying, which has not been hailed as an insult to some god." J. B. S. Haldane
